FID – Chapter 452

Chapter 452: How Old Was Nannan, And He Wanted to Take Her Home?

  The group immediately looked towards the entrance.

  Feng Qingbai immediately caught sight of Liu Yusheng. The little girl’s eyes were wandering about with a cunning and smart glint. It seemed that nothing serious had happened.

  Liu Zhixia felt deeply relieved a bit.

  Things were not as bad as he thought.

  With Nannan in, convincing their grandparents could save a lot of effort.

  Unfortunately, Grandma Liu didn’t give him a chance to convince her. She sat down and asked directly, “Zhixia, what are you going to do? When are you going to marry her?”

  The entire hall fell into silence for a moment.

  Liu Zhixia was struck dumb for a while. Looking at the solemn appearances of his grandmother and mother, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and the gloom in his eyes faded away.

  His family has never made him feel bad, and never let him down.

  ”Grandpa, Grandma, Father, Mother, I will definitely marry her home. Just please give me a little time, and also give Yuzheng a little time.”

  ”How long?”

  ”A month at most.”

  Grandma Liu nodded. “Then I’ll give you a month. If you still can’t solve the problem within the month, this old woman herself will bring Yuzheng back to Xinghua Village!”

  Liu Yusheng and Liu Zhixia’s eyelids twitched in unison.

  Take her back to Xinghua Village, but what about Liu Zhixia?

  He must stay in the capital to join the service. Didn’t that mean separating the two of them? Then even the chance to cultivate feelings would be gone.

  Liu Zhixia rubbed her eyebrows. “Grandma, you and my mother should buy things for the engagement and marriage as usual. In a month, I will bring your granddaughter-in-law and daughter-in-law back.”

  Qian Wanjin fell down laughing on the side. “You finally had your day.” The only people who could make Liu Zhixia helpless were the women of the Liu family.

  Feng Qingbai glanced at Liu Yusheng who was also snickering next to him: “Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, Shengsheng and I…”

  ”Your matter with Nannan is going to be discussed later. It’s impossible now!” Liu Dalin immediately interrupted him.

  This kid was cunning. Did he think he didn’t know what he was thinking?

  Does he want to strike the iron while it’s hot and take advantage of the fact that my parents were in a better mood to settle the matter between him and Nannan?

  How old is our Nannan, and he wants to take her home?

  Let’s talk about it in a few years!

  Feng Qingbai’s face darkened.

  Qian Wanjin chortled once more. Shi Xianrou was covering his mouth for him so that he would not say anything that should not be said. Feng Qingbai was a man who bore grudges. He would exact it now, but he would also save it for later.

  Come to think of it, which among all those who offended him ended well?

  The matter was initially settled. Grandpa Liu and Liu Dalin exchanged a look and each looked at their own lady: “Did you really think about it? Since the matter is settled, you can never go back on it in the future.”

  Grandma Liu gave her husband an eye-roll. “When did I ever go back on what I set out to do? Yuzheng is a good one. Marrying a wife and a virtuous person will definitely bring family harmony with Zhixia in the future. What else do we hope for besides this?”

  Grandpa Liu nodded and smiled. “You’re right. We don’t have any other hope. We just want them to live well. Zhixia, the rest is up to you. Since you have made up your mind, in the future, no matter what conflicts between the two of you, you can’t bring out previous matters and poke Yuzheng’s scars. Once you are married, the days are just with firewood, rice, oil and salt. You need to be attentive and be sympathetic to each other in order to go far.”

  ”I know, Grandpa.”

  ”This is what you begged for. If you dare to back out later, don’t say you’re from the Liu family!” Liu Dalin added.

  ”Father, from now on, Yuzheng and I will live in harmony like you and Mother.”

  ”Father, mother, I will look at my brother. If he dares to bully Yuzheng, I will tell you. I can’t spare him,” Liu Yusheng interjected playfully, livening up the atmosphere again.

  Once Grandma and Mother had made a decision, Grandpa and Father would not be a problem. There was also no need for her and Big Brother to bother with words.

  No one in their family was stubborn, pedantic and rigid.

  Although the matter between her brother and Yuzheng took some twists and turns, the ending would be good.

  Not to mention the attitude of their family, Yuzheng wasn’t willing to go far alone. She couldn’t break up with her brother.

  Now there was only her Second Brother left to worry about.

  The two women who appeared next to the second brother one after another; Liu Yusheng secretly sighed. She really didn’t know her Second Brother’s future wife, nor what kind of person she would be.

  ”Who are you worrying about again?” The little girl’s worried look made Feng Qingbai lose his smile.

  She looked like a little housekeeper who needed to worry about everything.

  She gave him a disgruntled look: “Has there been any news from the Xinghua Village recently?”

  ”Yes, nothing major.”

  ”It’s been more than a month since we left, and everything at home was thrown at Uncle, Aunt and my second brother. I don’t know if they can survive.” Liu Yusheng frowned.

  The family’s rice and medicine fields needed attention, and the wine workshop needed to supply and transport the wine batches to their major partners in the county. With three people left in the family, they must be busy as a spiral.

  ”Don’t worry. With Wei Hong around, she can help a lot. There is also Zhiqiu for the county. Don’t treat  your Second Brother as so useless.”

  Liu Yusheng sighed again. Her Second Brother wasn’t useless, but he was just too lazy to use his brain, ah.

  Otherwise, would she be so worried?

  Fu Yuzheng’s departure did not cause any major disturbance in the manor on the surface.

  The Liu family didn’t show any special reaction either. They still took care of the vegetable patches as usual, loosened the soil and watered them. After busy working on the vegetable patches, the women’s family members took to the street to purchase things. Whenever they found festive supplies for engagement and marriage they liked, they moved them to the King’s Manor. They accumulated bit by bit, and piled up into half a warehouse in a few days.

  This kind of attitude made the servants in the King’s Manor secretly speculate for a while, unable to figure out what the Liu family was really thinking.

  They undoubtedly were supposed to host Miss Fu’s engagement. But now that Miss Fu went missing, they weren’t anxious at all. Didn’t they want Miss Fu anymore and want to change to someone else?

  This was highly likely.

  In the past, some people might say that the Liu family was a poor family, but now that Young Master Liu passed brilliantly, he could take office as soon as the imperial court appointed him. That mean he would be an official. If his identity was different, his vision was naturally different.

  There were many officials in the court who wanted to attract Young Master Liu, so that he could become the son-in-law of a high-ranking household.

  Marrying a wealthy Miss was better than marrying a helpless orphan. He could also help himself.

  Otherwise, Young Master Liu wouldn’t be busy entertaining all day. Since he was the Number One Scholar, there had been an endless stream of invitations to the manor every day. He would go out to socialize and wouldn’t return until after dark, and whenever he came back, his breath reeked of alcohol. It was apparent that he’d been toasting and raising jars of good cheer.

  Poor Miss Fu. She often slept in Liuyun Pavilion before marriage. As a result, someone’s face changed once he passed the imperial exam.

  In the end, Miss Fu was the only one who suffered.

  The servants bore such thoughts, but as mere servants in the manor, even if they were dissatisfied, they dared not show it.

  They were in such positions, so what qualification did they have to stand up for others? Taking care of themselves was the most important.
